Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify predictors of clinical efficacy of oriental medical treatment for patients with panic disorder. Methods: We analyzed medical records of 41 patients who were diagnosed with panic disorder through DSM-IV or ICD-10 by 2 oriental medical neuro-psychiatrists. We performed frequency analysis of demographic characteristics in patients with panic disorder, and assessed the correlation between the psychological scales by Pearson correlation. Repeated measures ANOVA were used to compare the psychological scales during the treatment; and Single regression analysis was used to analyze the factors that have correlation to improvement of panic disorder by oriental medical treatment. Psychological scales used in the study were STAI-X-1/2, STAXI-S/T, BDI2, BAI, BSQ, PAS, ASI, LOT-R, SWLS, LSES and LSMS. Results: Patients' demographic characteristics indicated that there were twice more female than male patients; furthermore, there was a high ratio of patients in their 20s and 30s, with the highest percentage of onset-age in the 20s and average duration of panic disorder from 1~5 years. More than half of the total patient cohort comprised of those who had panic disorder with agoraphobia and major depressive disorder; in addition, major accompanied symptoms were dyspepsia, chest discomfort and headache. After treatment, most scores of psychological scales were significantly reduced, and correlation between the psychological scales was significant. Furthermore, we identified some factors that were significantly correlated to improvement of panic disorder by oriental medical treatment. Conclusions: In conclusion, treatment of panic disorder with oriental medicine was clinically efficient and improved the quality of life.

Purpose: Music intervention has long been used in research of patients undergoing surgical operation in reducing anxiety level and improve surgical outcome. However, there are few studies that have considered a patient's music preference. We investigated the effect of the tailored music intervention which chose music according to the patient's preference on anxiety level and vital signs. Method: The subjects were 50 patients who received regional anesthesia for surgical operation at D hospital in Pohang city from April, 2006 to November, 2006. All of the subjects were randomly assigned either music group (30 subjects) or non-music group (20 subjects). As the patients arrived in the operating room, vital signs were monitored until the subjects were transferred to the recovery room, while Spielberger's STAI-KYZ questionnaires were applied twice to measure preoperative and intra-operative anxiety. The data were analyzed by 2-test, t-test, one-way ANCOVA and repeated measures ANOVA using SPSS 12.0/PC+. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups on vital signs. All of the vital signs increased when the subjects arrived in the operating room, but decreased quickly once the operation began, regardless of the groups. However, the music group reported significantly less intra-operative anxiety, compared to the non-music group (F=15.208, p<.000), when preoperative anxiety was treated as a covariance. Conclusion: The findings support that the use of music which was chosen by patients during the surgery significantly reduced patient's intra-operative anxiety during regional anesthesia.

The purpose of this study is to examine intensity of pain and anxiety of burn patients. This study selected 99 adult patients of 18 years old or older who have been hospitalized and treated for a second-degree burn at the surgery ward or burn ward of 3 university hospitals which are located in 2 metropolitan cities, and a university hospital in Seoul Special City from July 1 to October 20, 2000. This study used STAI(State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) developed by Spielberger, and translated by Kim, Jung Taek and Shin, Dong Kyun to examine the degree of anxiety and VAS to examine the pain. This study was carried out by interview and using SPSS 9.0 statistical program. Results were as follows : 1) As for general characteristics of the subjects, they were mostly male. 30s-40s, married, and high school graduates. 2) Forty-seven patients were burned by fire and $49.6\%$ of the patients had burn 10 to $20\%$ of BSA. seventy-nine percents of patients received one dressing change a day and $74.3\%$ received medication once or twice a day. 3) As for intensity of anxiety and pain. the mean intensity of pain was 6.41. The intensity of trait anxiety and the state anxiety were 39.76. and 51.81. 4) Subject's age was significantly different in their pain intensity and other variables were insignificant. Correlations between trait-anxiety and state-anxiety(r=.286, p=.004), and state-anxiety and VAS(r=.294, p=.003) showed weak correlation. There wasn't statistically any significance in trait- anxiety and VAS(r=.183, p=.070).

The purposes of this study were to(a) develop theoretical modifications of the extended gate control theory of pain using Fishbein's model and（b) test the efficacy of these modifications. Attitude, social subjective norm, personal subjective norm, habit and state anxiety were operationalized to represent internal stimuli for the cognitive-evaluative and motivational-affective dimensions of the theory. Pain expression was operationalized as sensory and affective responses to pain, and pain endurance. Sixty-two female nurses from 20 to 50 years of age participated. A semantic differential scale measured attitude and motivations to comply; a Likerty-type scale measured personal and social norms and habit. Spielberger's STAI measured state anxiety, Pain was produced using a modified submaximum effort tourniquet technique. Pair expression was measured using ratio scales of sensory intensity and unpleasantness developed by Gracely and his associates. Pain endurance was measured by subtracting time of pain threshold from pain tolerance. The first hypothesis examining whether pain endurance would be more significantly related to the affective response than to the sensory response was net rejected. Four remaining hypotheses, testing the ability of the five variables to predict the sensory and affective responses were not rejected. However, the habit of pain expression and the attitude toward pain expression contributed to the prediction of both sensory and affective responses to pain. The interaction between the cognitive-evaluative and the sensory-discriminative dimensions and the interaction between the cognitive-evaluative and motivational-affective dimensions were partially supported by the data from these two variables. The interaction between the motivational-affective and the sensory-discriminative dimensions was also supported by the relationship of sensory to affective responses. The variables which did not significantly predict pain expression appeared to have potential for prediction. Revision and testing of the tools for better reliability, validity, and clinical usuability are needed. The study contributed to theory building. The identification of variables which pre-dict pain behavior must occur before effective nursing interventions can be developed.

Objective : Existing depression rating scales do not fully reflect depressed patients' perspective of remission, which goes beyond symptom resolution. The Remission from Depression Questionnaire (RDQ) captures a broader array of domains, and the present study examines the reliability and validity of the Korean Version of the RDQ (K-RDQ). Methods : The test-retest reliability of the K-RDQ was studied in 60 depressed patients and 30 normal subjects working at a university hospital. Subjects were evaluated at baseline and again 1-2 weeks later. The validity of the K-RDQ was studied in 200 depressed patients who were rated on the 17-item HDRS and the CGI-S ; each patient also completed the QIDS-SR, STAI-S, GHQ/QL-12, and SDS. Results : The K-RDQ demonstrated excellent internal consistency, with a Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ of 0.965 for the total scale and above 0.80 for each of the 7 subscales. The test-retest reliability of the total scale was 0.951. Mean K-RDQ scores ($45.79{\pm}18.65$) of the depressed patients were significantly higher than those ($15.87{\pm}10.60$) of the mentally healthy subjects (t=12.8, p<0.001). Five factors from the K-RDQ were extracted by principal axis factoring with equimax rotation. Conclusion : These results indicate that the K-RDQ is a reliable and valid measure that evaluates multiple domains that depressed patients consider important in determining remission. Thus, the K-RDQ maybe considered an appropriate tool for use in the clinical setting.

Objectives : As of 2013, South Korea ranked number one in the world in smartphone penetration rate with 67.6%. Unfortunately, with the rise of smart phone use, side effects such as fraud, loss of personal information, identity theft, formation and widening of a mobile information gap, and last, but not least, smart phone addiction, also increased. Methods : Seventh (7th)graders from a girls' junior high school in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, we reevaluated the Smart phone Addiction Proneness Scale (S-scale). Among the 9 students classified as high risk users, 5 were randomly selected for a study group, and the remaining 4 students, meanwhile, were designated as a control group. The study group received Korean medicine music therapy (KMMT) in a total of 8 sessions, each session lasting 50 minutes. Both pre- and post-interventions, the two groups completed the S-scale, Harris and Harris' concentration grid exercise, STAI, and STAXI-K. We analyzed the data by t-test and paired t-test using IBM SPSS Statistics. Results : KMMT had a significant influence on proneness to smart phone addiction (t=3.130, p=.035). KMMT had positive effects on concentration improvement (t=-2.935, p=.043), trait-anxiety symptoms improvement (t=2,992, p=.040), and anger-expression control (t=4.416, p=.012). Conclusions : KMMT had positive, improving effects on trait anxiety and anger expression, which in turn enhanced the improvement of concentration as well as the decrease of smart phone-addiction proneness.

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of musical listening on anxiety in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. On the basis of the research criterias, 46 patients were recruited from Kang-Nam St. Mary's Hospital in Seoul from October 1 to December 31, 1995. 20 patients of them were participated as the experimental group who received musical listening session with self-selected music tapes, while 26 patients as the control group who didn't receive that session. The musical listening sessions composed of 3 periods, the pre-operation evening, just before sleeping, the operation morning. There were no differences between two groups, in terms of age education, religion, the experience of operation, the perception of uterus, and the weight(%). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) was used to measure anxiety on all patients. And serum cortisol levels, fasting blood sugar levels, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were collected at the day before surgery and the operation day. The results were as follows : 1. There were no significant differences in State-Anxiety between the two groups. 2. The differences of serum cortisol level between the day before surgery and the operative day were significantly lower in experimental group than in control group(P=0.03). 3. The level of fasting blood sugar was significantly decreased in experimental group(P=0.01). 4. Systolic blood pressure level was significantly decreased in experimental group(P=0.02). While Diastolic blood pressure level was not significant between two groups. It is suggested imply that the musical listening during the perioperative period may alleviate the perioperative anxiety levels in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.

Objectives : Studies have reported differences between depressed adults and controls in quantitative measures of EEG alpha asymmetry, but, there are few using Korean subjects. So, the present study compared EEG regional alpha asymmetries of patients having major depressive disorder(MDD) and normal controls. Methods : The subjects in this study were 11 unmedicated unipolar depressed patients and 11 non-depressed, age matched controls. Resting EEG(eyes closed and eyes open) was recorded from each participant using 8 scalp electrodes. Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HDRS), Zung's Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS) and Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) were used to evaluate depression and anxiety symptoms. Results : The severities of depression measured by self-report questionnaires were positively associated with those of anxiety(state and trait) ; The subjects were both anxious and depressed. Anxious-depressed patients differed from controls in alpha asymmetry at T4 channels. They showed evidence of greater activation over right than left temporal site. Conclusion : These findings are consistent with the previousely reported alpha asymmetry of depressed patients with an anxiety disorder. The failure to find the evidence of reduced right parietal activity in depression is presumed to be due to opposing effects of comorbid anxiety on parietotemporal activity.

연구목적 : 본 연구는 표준화된 한국판 20항목 Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20K)을 이용하여 공황장애에서 나타나는 감정표현불능증의 특성 및 감정표현불능증에 영향을 주는 불안과 우울 수준과의 연관성을 알아보아 이들 환자군에서의 감정표현불능증이 정상군에서와 어떤 다른 특성을 보이는지 살펴보기 위해 시도되었다. 방법: 서울 소재 일 대학병원 신경정신과 공황장애 클리닉에 방문하여 두 명의 정신과 전문의가 DSM-IV 진단기준을 사용하여 진단한 공황장애 환자 167명, 일 대학 병원 직원 및 직장인, 대학원생 등을 포함하는 110명의 정상 대조군을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 정상 대조군과 공황장애 환자군 간의 사회인구학적 특성, 감정표현불능증과 그 하위 척도, 상태 및 특성 불안, 불안 민감도, 우울 척도를 이용하여 비교하였다. 또한, 정상대조군 및 공황장애 환자군에서 감정표현불능증과 나머지 척도와의 상관관계를 살펴보고 이를 통해 감정표현 불능증을 가장 잘 설명하는 변수를 찾기 위해 다중 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 공황장애 환자군은 정상 대조군과 비교해서 감정표현불능증, 상태 및 특성 불안, 불안 민감도, 우울, 감정표현불능증의 총점(p<0.001) 및 하위척도의 요인 1(p<0.001)과 요인 2(p=0.001)는 유의하게 높은 점수를 보였으나 요인 3은 두 군간의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 또한 공황장애 환자군에서 감정표현불능증을 설명하는 변수는 특성불안$({\Delta}R^2=0.255)$과 불안 민감도$({\Delta}R^2=0.062)$였고 정상 대조군에서는 우울$({\Delta}R^2=0.144)$과 불안 민감도$({\Delta}R^2=0.033)$였다. 결론: 공황장애가 있는 경우 신체감각이 위험한 결과를 일으킨다고 믿는 정도를 측정하는 불안 민감도가 높으며 이러한 불안 민감도는 특성 불안과 유의미한 상관관계를 보이는 점을 고려할 때 불안 민감도와 특성 불안이 공황장애 환자에서 감정표현불능증을 설명하는 적합한 변수가 됨을 알 수가 있었다. 반면, 정상 대조군의 감정표현불능증은 불안 민감도보다는 우울이 좀 더 많은 설명 변량을 가진 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 기존의 연구들과는 차이를 보이는데 본 연구와 기존 연구간의 대상군의 균질성에 있어서 차이가 있으므로 좀 더 구체적인 연구로 반복 확인이 필요하겠다.
